The Persians have pushed the imperial forces …

Years: 620 - 620

The Persians have pushed the imperial forces back to Constantinople by 620.

The great days of the Persian Achaemenid Empire seem to have come again, and there is little in the recent history of Constantinople's emperors that encourages Heraclius to place much faith in the future.

He clearly cannot hope to survive unless he keeps under arms the troops he has brought with him; yet, the fate of Maurice demonstrates that this will be no easy task, given the empire's lack of financial and agricultural resources.

He now begins a campaign against Persia to retake the territories conquered by Khosrau.
